Hey guys,

I'm in the middle of changing my spark plugs on my rb25de.

Anyone got any ideas I can try to take this rubber tube off? I already removed the clamps and used brute force but the thing won't budge.

It's the last thing I need to remove to be able to get to the coil pack cover :blink:

these....are one of the essential tools for a skyline owner!

if not....you need to break the seal between the hose and the metal.

carefully work the smallest bladed screwdriver you have between the hose and the pipe (don't stab the rubber, go under it). if you can work the screwdriver right around the pipe the hose will come straight off.

Another good trick is once you have the tip of the screw driver under the rubber and can prise it up spray some WD40 into the opening. This will help to soften the hose and allow you to get the screw driver in further to brake the seal between the hose and the pipe.

I would not put hot water anywhere near this area as it would run down over the coilpacks and the spark plugs.

give it a twist.

seriously, it's the same theory as the other techniques, you just need to break the bond between rubber and metal, sometimes rotating the hose helps break the contact first, then you just pull.

might be a bit hard if the hose is really stiff, but it's helped me many times over the years.

plus it also helps for putting hoses on.

+1 for giving it a twist, or getting some of those hose pliers. or get the biggest flat screwdriver you have and wedge it between the steel piece and the hose and try and lever it off (basically how the hose pliers would work)

this is the way i always deal with stuck hoses.

thanks mate, i need a fitting like that... if u can see in my sig photo, the rocker cover fitting on my rocker cover points upwards as they do standard and it makes my setup look a bit average.

Dont suppose anyone has one they want to sell to me?

So how do you wash your engine...? I use a hose...

hose pliers! and they have saved my knuckles more damage than any other tool I own

i really need to start that...."cool tools for skylines thread"....there's more where they came from!

+1 for cool tools thread..Its a great idea... :D

Got the hose off using a hair dryer, worked like a charm :(

Would've used hose pliers but couldn't find any today. :(

Bunnings and Supercheap didn't have them

I also tried to buy some today ,bursons said no...:(

I was using a hair dryer to dry paint the other day when i thought of it. .Hadnt actually tried it yet but glad it worked for you..

GF knows if she cant find her hair dryer its usually in the shed...lol

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
